Before Use

Wipe the interior of the drum with a soft cloth and mild liquid detergent. Do not use aggressive cleaning agent which could damage the surface.

WHEN YOU FIND YOUR APPLIANCE IS OUT OF USE AND NO LONGER NEEDED, TRY NOT TO BURDEN THE ENVIRONMENT WITH IT. CALL THE NEAREST AUTHORIZED "COLLECTING SERVICE FOR USED APPLIANCES".

Useful Hints

Avoid drying large laundry loads, as this causes garments to easily crease and dry unevenly. (A maximum drying load should not exceed 11lbs dry-weight)

Drying very delicate laundry items such as woolens and silk garments is not recommended as they may shrink or lose their shape.

Synthetic curtains, fabrics with metal threads,

nylon stockings, as well as lingerie with prevailing foam rubber components or rubber-like materials, should be dried at a low temperature setting (delicate laundry programs or time setting programs). Place delicate fabrics in a laundry sack, when drying together with other laundry. When drying is finished, immediately remove all laundry from the dryer to avoid excessive creasing.

When drying laundry in the dryer, there is no need to add conditioners. Conditioners are added only when rinsing synthetics to neutralize static electricity.

When buying clothes, especially underwear, do not forget that they may shrink during washing as well as during drying.

Clothes marked with a "no tumble dry" label, are not suitable for tumble drying.

Energy consumption when drying laundry is essentially increased if the spin speed of your washing machine is set to operate lower than 800 r.p.m.

Important Warnings

• Only laundry washed with water can be dried in this dryer. Never try to dry laundry washed or cleaned with any flammable cleaning agents, (e.g. benzine, trichlor ethylene) as it may cause an explosion.
• Close supervision of children is always necessary when any appliance is being used. Never let children play on or near this appliance while it is operational.
• Frequent cleaning of the lint filter is necessary when using a clothes dryer. We recommend cleaning the filter after each time a load is finished. (It only takes a couple of seconds) After cleaning, the lint filter must be reinstalled back inside the air duct, located in the inner door panel. Operating the dryer with damaged filter or without the filter is dangerous and can cause fire.
• Never let children or pets enter (the drum of) the dryer
  After use always switch the tumble dryer off and cut the power supply to the appliance.
• All service interventions on the machine should be left to an expert. Never attempt to service the dryer yourself. Call an authorized service

agent if your dryer is in need of service. For the location of the closest service agent in your area, check the service listing enclosed with the appliance, or contact the retailer, or contact the manufacturer direct at 1 800 26 DANBY for customer service.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local cordes and ordinances.

WARNING-Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance-if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Positioning and Installation

Your clothes dryer must be placed in a room with adequate ventilation.

Choosing the Right Place

The most appropriate space is a room with a window or built-in ventilation fan (Figure 1).

In closed, smaller rooms without adequate ventilation there is too much moisture in the air, the drying time is increased and so is energy consumption.

If during the drying procedure there isn't adequate ventilation in the room, we recommend you direct moist air out in the open by means of vent pipe (Fig. 2).

Drying

Drying program selection elements are set in the control panel as well as the indicator light which is on during the operation of the machine.

Preparing the Laundry for Drying

• Sort the laundry before drying according to type of the laundry.
• Fasten buttons, zippers, tie loose strings and turn pockets inside out.
• Very delicate laundry (fine underwear with laces) should prior to drying be put in a special sack so that it won't get damaged by buttons, zippers and pins.
• We recommend loading the drum with items of different size. Larger pieces of laundry can get tucked during drying. So we recommend you take them out, shake them and then put them back.
• When drying large sheets (bed sheets, table cloths) put 2 to 3 pieces for one load and when drying delicate smaller items (shirts, blouses) fill only 5 to 6 pieces for one load (max 4.5 lbs).
• Never put dripping wet laundry inside the dryer. (electrical hazard)
• Most clothes nowadays have labels marked with recommended drying mode.

ON - OFF button

The appliance is switched on and off by pushing the ON/OFF button.

Signal lamp operation

Signal lamp illuminates when the appliance is in operation.

Prior drying

• Switch the dryer on by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Before first selecting a drying program, set the program selector knob to the STOP/0 position. (for 1 second)
• Set the program selector knob to the desired drying program. The signal lamp, adjacent to the selected program will illuminate. (except when using timed dry programs)
• Press the "START" button to start the program. The beginning of operation is signaled by a beep. The program signal light goes off and actual humidity level indicator light turns on.
• If you wish to change the selected drying program after the machine has been put into operation, set the program selector knob back to the STOP/0 position. (for 1 second) You may select any desired drying program, and start it by pressing the START button. In case this procedure is not performed, the machine will continue executing the originally selected program, notwithstanding the position of the program selector.
• If the preceding program has been completed (indicator light END and ANTI-CREASE signal light will illuminate), you may select a new program and start it with the START button. It is not necessary to set the program selection button to the STOP/0 position.

Drying program selection button

The appropriate program is selected by operating the program selector knob, which may be turned in either direction. There is a basic choice of three drying groups:

Regular laundry (5 programs), with automatic moisture measuring

Delicate laundry (4 programs) with automatic moisture measuring

Preset (timed) drying for both resistant and delicate laundry

The drying temperature is selected automatically by the selection of the drying program, and it is lower for delicate laundry than for the resistant one. During the drying program with preset time the temperature is the same for both the delicate and resistant laundry.

Drying stage indicator

	Damp for machine ironing
	Damp for ironing
	Mildly damp
	Dry for storage
	Very dry
	Anti crease
	End

The drying stage indicator displays the actual drying stage at any given moment. This is signaled by the indicator light, illuminated adjacent to a particular drying stage symbol. The end of drying is signaled by the indicator light END or ANTI-CREASE.

START button

This button starts the operation of the appliance. In case of program interruption (open door, voltage failure, condensation receptacle full), it serves to continue the actual program, after the cause for interruption had been removed.

Drying

Drying time depends upon the selected program and the quantity of laundry. If you selected time defined drying the machine stops upon the expiry of set time. If you selected any of the programs for automatic determination of moisture, drying time will largely depend upon the quantity of

laundry and the extent of moisture present in the laundry (after the final spin stage of the wash program).

Actual stage of moisture during the program is indicated by the moisture stage display, so you may remove particular pieces of clothing you wish to remain damp at any time during the program. When you open the door (add or remove pieces of laundry) the drying program stops automatically and the drum interior is illuminated. When you close the door the light goes off and the program continues by pressing the START button.

In case of a power failure during a selected program, the drying operation stops. When the power is reinstated, you must to press the START button to continue the program.

Each program concludes with a 10 minute cooling down period, to prevent extracting hot laundry from the appliance and to improve the anti-crease function.

Drying programs are complete when the signal beep sounds and the indicator light "END" and "ANTI-CREASE" illuminate at the end of the program. This indicates that the laundry is dried to the point of the preset moisture stage, or the preset drying time has expired. The drum stops and laundry may be removed from the machine.

NOTE: If the laundry is not removed immediately after the drying cycle is completed, (and the machine is not switched off) the dryer will automatically start a special anti crease program. ANTI-CREASE PROGRAM: Consist of:

• 5 minute "OFF" (dormant) cycle
• 5 second "ON" tumbling cycle (ho heat)

This program helps to prevent laundry from sitting idle in the same position and helps to reduce creasing/wrinkling. The “anti-crease” program stops automatically after one hour of operation, but may be interrupted at any time by opening the door or turning the appliance off.

After drying

• Open the dryer door. Remove and clean the lint filter. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, the air circulation is obstructed. This obstruction will increase the drying time and may cause the unit to overheat and fail.
• Reinsert the filter.
• Remove laundry from the drum.
• Close the door and disconnect the power supply.

Economic use of the dryer

Time and energy will be saved with your dryer, if the following is considered:

• spin the laundry as much as possible – the higher the number of spin revolutions the shorter the drying time, the lower the energy consumption;
• by setting the adequate drying temperature, over-drying of laundry can be avoided and consequently difficult ironing;
• Always load the dryer maximally as this is the most economical. At the same time you can dry the laundry for "dry, ready to be stored" and "moist for ironing" by taking the latter out when it is still adequately moist for ironing;
• By regular cleaning of the filter an optimum drying time with minimum energy consumption can be ensured.
• Dryer consumption when used at a lower electric power rate can save additional energy cost.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning, always disconnect the appliance from power supply.

Exterior Cabinet

Wipe the cabinet with a soft wet cloth and mild cleaning agent. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents which could damage the paint surface.

Cleaning dryer

If your drier is installed in a room with poor air circulation or if operates daily, dust deposits will accumulate in the interior bottom of the appliance and in the ventilation exhaust pipe. This accumulation of dust can lead dryer malfunctions. So once a year, clean the dust in the interior of the drier with a damp cloth and check the exhaust ventilation for blockage.

Cleaning procedure

• Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.
• Undo the screws and remove the cover (B).
• Clean (with a vacuum cleaner) the bottom of the drier and parts on the bottom.
• Reinsert the cover in reverse order.

Lint Filter

After each drying cycle, remove the lint filter trap located inside the inner door and gently wipe over the filter with a soft cloth or soft brush to remove any accumulated lint. Clean the filter cabinet as well.

The lint filter can also be cleaned under running water; however, it must be thoroughly dried before being replaced.
